After a pile of dirt was relocated from the area where the new Parish Hall will be constructed to the lower parking lot, some seven dump-trucks worth of sand were delivered March 16 and 17 and then poured, scoop by scoop, down behind the wall to prepare for the framing and pouring of the slab. However, during the process cracks in the footings for the wall and in the wall itself were discovered. The contractor is consulting with the architectural engineer to determine the impact of the cracks and what action might need to be taken as a result.
